Destiny Thief

Chapter 70 The Wind Rises Ⅰ

"Lulu, have those people left?"

A full face with skin taut and smooth as sourdough bread loomed before Glo.The narrow, narrow eyes looked at Glo, then moved away.The breath in his mouth was very heavy, and the complex fishy smell was mixed with sporadic saliva, which sprayed onto Miss Lulu's neck, forehead, and hair on the ear temples—the difference in height between the two was about a head, especially Under such circumstances, Miss Lulu lowered her head, picked up a rag and began to wipe the unfinished tables.

Lulu was silent and didn't say anything.Under the black waiter's coat, a silver-white lace-trimmed shirt covered her full breasts, but it was obvious that she had a few violent ups and downs.She nodded, and then saw that the middle-aged man who was like a meatball seemed to be relieved for a long time - he ran to the door, poked his head out and found that the street outside was empty, and then began to greet the other two on duty The waiters work together to close the doors.

Several thick wooden boards were quickly spliced ​​together, and in the dim light of the tavern hall, two door latches the size of a child's arm were inserted - wooden strips cut into square edges were crossed and stacked.He patted the board to make sure it was solid, and finally remembered that there was a "Mr. Knight" sitting in the corner.

He ran over, and that "Mr. Knight" stated his purpose directly.After accepting the accommodation fee, the fat and bulky boss took the guests into the upstairs guest room on a rare occasion.

Outside the window, the night sea breeze is howling...

……

The night passed quietly.

The full moon in the sky has not yet disappeared, and the morning light has penetrated the vast mist.A night watch soldier at the southern city gate of Avron yawned. He put down the short spear in his hand and rested it in the corner of the wall, and was about to stretch his hands high——

Da Da Da Da - In this quiet morning, a dense and rapid sound of horse hooves came from far away.The soldier rubbed his groggy eyes, grabbed the short spear with one hand, and shook his companion beside him with the other hand:
"Hey! What's that?"

"Cavalry, what's the matter?"

"Cavalry? Enemy... enemy attack! Rangers of Tasia Barbarians!" The confused soldier suddenly trembled all over and shouted in silence.He turned around and was about to run into the tower on the city wall to ring the bell to summon more companions. However, when he just took two steps, he found that the surroundings were unusually quiet - the city gate at this time was not as busy as during the day, only a few There were some sparse figures: a few farmers from nearby villages walking into the city in search of work, and a small businessman driving a carriage. Hearing his shouting, he suddenly stopped and looked at him as if he were an idiot. he.

"Did the wine you drank last night make you so drunk? Did you see that flag? The Kingdom's Iris Knights. Besides, the damn war is over long ago..."

The companion squinted his eyes, showing a contemptuous expression, and babbled.He looked at the widely praised square flag from a distance—the background color was as white as the sun, the ring-shaped purple irises and two long swords with interlaced blades fluttered in the air in the wind, hunting.The sound of horseshoes was getting closer, and the outlines of war horses and knights gradually emerged from the mist.The knight is fully armed, with a lance, a big sword, a beautiful shiny metal armor, and a round shield wrapped in a layer of iron——

The farmers, businessmen, and the two soldiers were stunned for a moment.They knew that this was the Kingdom's prestigious Iris Knights, but why did they come to the port city of Afron?Could it be that something great will happen here?
With their knowledge, they couldn't tell the difference between the regular members of the Iris Knights and the reserve members.In fact, in Afron, there are definitely not many people who can accurately identify the origin of this team by virtue of the characteristics on the flag, even if all the nobles in the city are included.

At the front of the team, Miss Knight Alisa Cecilia was riding a tall, pure-colored Western Territory horse. From the horseshoes on the horse's feet to the saddle supporting the knight, it was as tall as an ordinary adult man. Well, there is not only one horse of this standard size in the team. When approaching, the huge size even makes people feel the oppression of space.The knight team from afar quickly passed through the fog outside the city and came under the city gate.The farmers and businessmen moved away early, while the two sensible city defense soldiers also picked up their short spears and retreated to both sides of the entrance of the city gate.

They looked at the knights on the horses with complicated expressions, either envious or fearful - unlike ordinary civilians entering the city, this team of nearly 30 people entered the city without any obstacles.Behind the city wall, the middle-aged official who supervised the collection of the city tax was sitting on a small chair with his eyes closed. The shouts of the soldiers made him open his eyes, but when he saw the team passing by, he Returned to the previous dozed posture.

Such things as city entry tax generally do not exist for the nobles and soldiers of the kingdom.He would never try to bring trouble upon himself.

The horseshoe stepped on the stone streets in the city, almost like a rumbling thunder.

After passing through the city gate corridor, two wide streets appeared in the field of vision, leading to three different directions.In the early morning, before the entire port city was completely busy, war horses stopped at the intersection one after another. Alisa took off her mask and looked back at the two knights following her.

"Alyssa."

The blond-haired knight took out a cloth handkerchief from his pocket and wiped off the sweat on his face, "I think, shall we visit the Marquis of Afron first, or Lord Nardo first? "

"Lars, you have forgotten an important person."

In the hollow armor, Cody reminded aloud.

"Mr. Joyce? By the way, Lord Rhodes is also here. The two seniors of the Knights, yes, it is really necessary. Alisa, what is your suggestion?"

Lars remembered their other identity besides nobles, the reserve of the Iris Knights.Although there is still a gap between being elected members, this necessary emotional connection cannot be ignored in the kingdom's military career system.

The experience of this trip has come to an end.As a child of an upper-class noble with a prominent background, it is undoubtedly a very rude thing to come to the territory of other nobles or powerful figures who are close to the status and not make some routine contacts and visits.

But the order of visits?This is not a question that can be arbitrary. To some extent, this represents a comparison of the relationship between the two parties.

Lars and Cody exchanged glances, and then looked at Miss Knight together.
